Description
1979 BMW 520/6 (E12)
In storage for many years
this LHD E12 gen' 5-series is a rare car, here in manual six-cylinder M20B20
form requiring some recommissioning
Dating from January 1979, this
BMW E12 series is finished in an attractive hue of light green with matching
green cloth interior. Featuring the M20B20 2.0 litre straight six engine that
when new produced 120bhp and here, is driven through a manual Getrag
'box.
The car has been, as we understand in storage for many years in the
Midlands until our vendor chanced upon it and pulled it out. The car starts and
runs albeit somewhat roughly and would evidently benefit from a thorough
mechanical overhaul following what looks in all likelyhood a stalled restoration
from times past.
The history file includes a service booklet showing it
hailed from Dussledorf owned by a Lisi Luigi with 3 stamps by Autohaus Muller in
1979 and 1980 for the PDI, running in service at 1,000km and for anti corrosion
along with a selection of original German manuals.
A rare car, and in
what looks like good condition bodily and with respect to the interior its hard
not to fall for the sweet lines and deep lip x-spoke alloy wheels fitted. A LHD
example showing 176,038km the car does not appear to be UK registered when we
looked the chassis number up its ripe to be registered and completed with the
E12 rapidly becoming the next 'one to watch' following on from recent E34 price
hikes and popularity no doubt.
